WestHouse Hotel New York, an SLH Hotel

The entrance is beautiful, and the staff were friendly and quick to help. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, with a nice spread. But I came here to rest, and the room itself was a problem. Drain flies or sewer flies were crawling all over the shower in the first room. Staff were kind and moved me promptly, but the second room had flies too, and this time they got into the room. I asked again on my last night and they quickly moved me, with an apology. The third room had them as well. With a 5 am flight, I gave up and left quickly. For the price, I'd rather have a clean, solid room than the food and amenities.

The lobby looked lovely with its holiday decorations, and I especially enjoyed breakfast and the daily happy hours. The food changed each day, pasta one day and pizza the next, and the pasta was the most delicious I've ever had. The location was perfect, and I liked the view from my room. I liked the room overall, especially the bathroom, though there was some wear: the bed looked quite used and the sink was cracked. The hotel offers good value for the money, and I'd definitely consider staying again on my next New York trip.

I'd give this a 4.5 and round up. The bed was comfy, towels were clean, and I liked being able to open the windows at night for fresh air, well, as fresh as the city gets. Staff were lovely, and the location was close to anything you might need. Having complimentary breakfast and evening snacks or hors d'oeuvres was a nice option. I'd recommend it to anyone after a more elevated hotel stay without spending too much. The one real issue was the very dim lighting in both the bedroom and bathroom, which made doing my makeup difficult.

The location worked perfectly for everything we wanted to do, with Central Park and Times Square a short walk away and the subway just steps from the hotel for trips to Chinatown and Little Italy. We stayed at the WestHouse Hotel New York just after New Year’s, and it was perfect. The hotel was clean and beautiful, and The Terrace was a lovely amenity for breakfast, evening happy hour with a light dinner, and cappuccino whenever we wanted. All the staff were so nice and helpful. Highly recommend!
